- Description
- The General Services Administration announces an opportunity for Construction Excellence in Public Buildings. The following describes the proposed Construction Manager As Constructor (CMc) Contract for the renovation of the Richard B. Russell Federal Building & Courthouse located in Atlanta GA. The scope of CMc services under this proposed contract includes Pre-construction Phase Services and the option for Construction Phase Services. A Fixed-Price Incentive (Successive Targets) contract under FAR 16.403-2 is contemplated. The CMc will be competitively chosen using Advisory Multi-step (FAR 15.202), and Source Selection (FAR 15.3) procedures. For this contract, technical factors, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price. (FAR 15.101-1 trade-offs). Project Summary. The proposed modernization will be performed at the existing Federal Building, which is a 24 floor, steel frame structure with approximately 1,281,446 gross square feet. The project includes, but is not limited to, the complete removal of asbestos containing pipe insulation and floor tiles; HVAC system upgrades; electrical system upgrades; interior remodeling to include new partitions, carpeting, floor tiles, lay in-ceilings, waterproofing, doors and hardware. Estimated combined (pre-construction and optional construction phase) project cost range is $25,000,000 to $30,000,000. This procurement is being solicited on an unrestricted basis and is opened to participation by both large and small business concerns. The applicable Standard Industrialized Classification Code for this procurement is 1542 with a size standard of $17 million. Funds are not currently available for this project. The government anticipates that funding will be made available for the Pre-Construction Services around March 2002, and for Construction Services in fiscal year 2003. Definition of Construction Manager as Constructor. The Construction Manager as Constructor, or CMc, is defined as a firm engaged under direct contract to a building owner, in this case the General Services Administration (GSA), to provide design review, cost estimating, scheduling and general construction services. The CMc will be a member of the project development team during the planning, design and construction phases, along with GSA as owner/developer, GSA?s selected A-E firm, and other GSA consultants. Proposal Submission Requirements. Proposals will be evaluated using a two-stage, advisory multi-step process (FAR 15.202). Under Stage I, offers must submit information regarding the firm?s qualifications including past performance, past experience, resources, and key personnel experience. Submissions shall clearly address the rating factors identified in the Request for Proposal (RFP). The Government will evaluate Stage I submissions to identify and advise the offers about their potential to be viable competitors. The Government shall evaluate all responses in accordance with the criteria stated in the Stage I RFP; advise each respondent in writing either that it will be invited to participate in the resultant acquisition or, based on the information submitted, that it is unlikely to be a viable competitor. The Government shall advise respondents considered not viable competitors of the general basis for that opinion and shall inform all respondents that, notwithstanding the advice provided by the Government in response to their submissions, they may participate in the next stage of the acquisition. Under Stage II, offers must submit additional information identified in the Stage II RFP. The Stage II evaluation will be based on technical factors as well as price. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions. Oral presentations and a brief interview will be required as part of the Stage II technical evaluation process. Oral presentations by offerors may substitute for, or augment, written information. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. The following evaluation factors will be evaluated and scored. Stage 1: 1) Firm?s Past Performance in Providing General Construction Services and Pre-Construction Services on Similar Projects (455 points); 2) Firm?s Past Experience in Providing General Construction Services and Pre-Construction Services on Similar Projects (245 points); 3) Qualifications and Experience of Key Personnel (200 points); and 4) Firm?s Resources, Facilities and Technology (100 points). Stage 2: 1) Project Management Plan (200 points). GO/NO-GO REQUIREMENT: Bonding Capacity. All offerors must provide a notarized statement from an approved surety of bonding capability that is commensurate with the high-end range of this project $30,000,000. How to Offer.
